From memory during test drive it was just coming up as a message on the HUD, not a fault light

Hi all, I'm looking at buying a monte carlo, during test drive it was throwing up a front radar fault. The dealer has had a diagnostic done and it's come back at needing a new radar. Too expensive to warrent replacing tbh, rather than the pop up being annoying Im presuming it won't have any impact on driving or MOT failure? It doesn't have ACC, just speed limiter. Ive prices ranging from 400-1300 for the repair Any advice would be great, not sure wether to just walk away (as Im also thinking has been in a front end collision!)

Cheers, it did end up being the exhaust turbo actuator. I tried lubing it but it didn't work. Ended up buying a new actuator

65plt 1.2 tsi 8v cbzb decides to lose power occasionally, ive also noticed mpg slightly less than usual. Garage suggested it could be the MAP sensors, so ive cleaned them with contact cleaner. When removing the one at the back of the engine it has no screws holding it in place! Ive had the car 5years so dont know why these would be missing, so not sure if they have never been there or have worked loose? And wether this might cause an issue? Turbo actuator has also been mentioned but thats a dear-do in replacing so hoping the MAP sensor cleaning does the job.
